Answer: the correct sequence is 1.- D. Respectful 2.-Haughty
3.- Loving
Explanation: In the first passage the author says "...her husband and the father of her child had also taken the place of her father..." meaning she respects him. In the second passage, the narrator says:"...The tall figure of my father-my childhood hero-seemed to pop up in the midst of all these women engaged in idle chit-chat...". meaning he feels proud of his father. And, in the third passage a gentle romantic loving scene is shown.
